Description
Summary:Epilepsy which is a chronic neurological disorder is characterized by recurrent seizure poses a significant challenge to healthcare professionals worldwide. Most of antiepileptic drugs have serious side effects that might affect the quality of life such as fatigue, dizziness, weight gain and cognitive impairments. In this context, the search for more effective and potential antiepileptic drug candidate has led to a growing interest in the field of synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. This review will focus on the utilization of heterocyclic moieties including imidazole, indole, thiazole, triazine, quinazoline and oxazole which show remarkable anticonvulsant properties. Furthermore, the exploration of various methodologies for the synthesis of heterocyclic anticonvulsant drugs such as green methodologies and microwave assisted protocols have contributed to the development of environment friendly,  more efficient and potential approaches. The review will distinguish from previous ones by specifically focusing on innovative synthetic methodologies, including greener methodologies and micro‐assisted techniques, that contribute to eco‐friendly and environment benign approaches during 2019‐2024. In addition to this, the review will focus on the Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) studies of heterocyclic compounds in order to offer insight into the design of next generation antiepileptic drugs with improved efficacy and reduced side effects.
